The time slots were assigned to the teams with the byes before their opponents were known. That time slot was given to Atlanta. The Falcons would be playing at that time no matter if it was against the Vikings, Redskins, or Seahawks.

And considering the alternative would be playing a better team a day earlier, what the **** are you complaining about?

Sorry, but you really made yourself look like a whiny idiot with thread.

They cant have the Broncos or 49ers games at 1 ET. Means only Falcons or Pats games as viable options. After a late sunday game much harder to play Saturday than a Sunday 1 ET game especially travelling cross country. The league did the Hawks a big favor IMO.

You see, there's this thing called "Jet lag." It happens when you travel to a different time zone and are not used to the change. Your body thinks it's 10 am, when it's actually 1 pm. The team that is not traveling does not have to deal with this problem.

The Chargers had the 10am Sunday game in the divisionals in the 07 playoffs but still managed to pull off an epic win. I'm still picking Seattle in this game. It's going to be a tough trip but they're good enough to pull it off.

I don't know how NFL teams do it but... SEA just played in Washington D.C I would have you know... stayed somewhere on the east coast available for me to practice... and then just go to ATL... East coast bias solved....

Since the West Coast QQ party is fully in motion I pose a question. Using this as an unfair advantage does that mean whenever an East Coast team plays on Sunday/Monday night it's an unfair advantage for West Coast teams who feel as if it's 5pm when it's actually 8pm?

It's three freaking hours and the team has the option to fly in early. This isn't flying to London to play a game. :P

You guys only think they sucked because of your east coast bias and simple stats like Wins and Losses. But where it truly mattered, deep in the hearts of their fans, in a place where not even the most hardest of hardcore homers can't lie to himself, they sucked even harder.
